Employer matching gifts

You can double or even triple your financial contribution to Geisinger Commonwealth if you or your spouse’s employer has a matching gift program. Check with your employer’s human resources/benefits department for eligibility and matching gift forms.

Stocks and securities

Gifts of publicly-traded securities, closely held stocks and mutual funds will not only benefit Geisinger Commonwealth, but can also be beneficial to you by minimizing taxes. Contact the Development Office at 570-207-3697 or development@som.geisinger.edu for transfer instructions.

Donor-advised funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a mechanism that simplifies the administrative burden of fulfilling your philanthropic objectives. DAFs offer the favorable tax benefits of giving directly to charities with added flexibility around timing of gifts. If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable or Schwab Charitable, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to Geisinger Commonwealth directly from your fund, and you can use the box on the right to designate them for your preferred use, such as scholarships or research.

Gift planning

To explore the many ways you can accomplish your financial and estate planning objectives, in coordination with a gift that will transform the lives of Geisinger Commonwealth students, contact Marise Garofalo, vice president for Institutional Advancement at 570-207-3689 or mgarofalo@som.geisinger.edu.

Gifts-in-kind

Items of tangible personal property (including art, collectibles, books or equipment) and other personal assets or materials of value may be donated to Geisinger Commonwealth. Contact the Development Office at 570-207-3697 to discuss your proposed gift.
